Which views have RMAN backup jobs information?

Question

Hi there,
I use EM to schedule the db backup using RMAN.
I can view the jobs in the EM.
But I can not find out which views have RMAN backup jobs information in sqlplus.
like dba_scheduler_jobs.
Your advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
SZ

Hi,
V$RMAN_STATUS - Shows the success/failure status of all recently completed RMAN jobs.
V$RMAN_OUTPUT
Displays messages reported by an RMAN job in progress
If you want to monitor then go the following :-
Monitoring RMAN Job Progress :- view V$SESSION_LONGOPS.
first Step :-
Before starting the job, create a script file (called, for this example, longops) containing the following SQL statement:
SELECT SID, SERIAL#, CONTEXT, SOFAR, TOTALWORK,
ROUND(SOFAR/TOTALWORK*100,2) "%_COMPLETE"
FROM V$SESSION_LONGOPS
WHERE OPNAME LIKE 'RMAN%'
AND OPNAME NOT LIKE '%aggregate%'
AND TOTALWORK != 0
AND SOFAR <> TOTALWORK
After connecting to the target database and, if desired, the recovery catalog database, start an RMAN job. For example, enter:
RESTORE DATABASE;
While the job is running, start SQL*Plus connected to the target database, and execute the longops script to check the progress of the RMAN job. If you repeat the query while the restore progresses, then you see output such as the following:
SQL> @longops
SID SERIAL# CONTEXT SOFAR TOTALWORK %_COMPLETE
8 19 1 10377 36617 28.34
SQL> @longops
SID SERIAL# CONTEXT SOFAR TOTALWORK % COMPLETE
8 19 1 21513 36617 58.75
